It’s Autumn and it still feels like Summer. The Scarborough redevelopment construction is finally complete and we can now enjoy the “new” Scarborough. On one of our leisure morning walks we met Natalia from Brazil. She had only just arrived in Perth, in fact Australia the day before, here to study English at the English […]

I’m not too sure where this challenge originated from but when I heard that it was about to start again this year, my immediate thought was that it was perfect timing because I’ve been practicing drawing people. Last year I would have shied away from this challenge and stuck to my food sketches. My day […]

In previous posts you’ve heard me say how we moved back to Scarborough a few years ago. We lived here pre-child and pre-marriage about 20 years ago when the Scarborough was considered to be less savoury lets say. Since moving back so much has changed here. We feel like we’ve come home or more to […]

One of the reasons why I love the International Urban Sketchers community is that no matter where you are in the world you can always find other urban sketchers to sketch with and make new friends. We recently had three overseas sketchers visiting Perth at the same time, one from Malaysia, Singapore and Nairobi. What […]

Not realising that we scheduled our monthly meet up at UWA (University of Western Australia) on the same day as the Perth Up Market made our sketch meet a serendipitous event. The Perth Up Market was established in 2008 and initially held at the Perth Town Hall but with its growing popularity, the markets moved […]

Departing from my regular busy Bali type holiday staying in the more energetic and very commercial and tourist dense Kuta ,we chose to visit a more quieter part of Bali, Sanur (on the recommendation of our neighbour who just returned from a family holiday the day I spoke to him). Some cringe at the mention […]

Gazing across the delightful country style garden under the cerulean blue sky I sat cheerfully like a child, awaiting my order of home baked scones with strawberry jam and fresh cream. The warmth of sun led me to falsely believe it’s Spring, but it’s actually the beginning of Autumn. And this was part of our […]

I came across Tahlia when she liked one of my food sketches I had posted on Instagram earlier this year. Naturally I was curious to know who my new ‘liker/follower” was, so I checked out her profile and WOW! Her profile was covered with an amazing array of her cakes, cupcakes and delicious looking desserts. […]

When I was thinking about what to sketch for Sugar Candies day, I immediately thought of Super Lemons (the horrid individually wrapped lollies coated with a super ultra sour lemon taste, actually it’s not even a taste, more like a horrid sensation and invasion of my happy unviolated taste buds. But the more I thought […]
